Today felt like the start of a long holiday. I woke at my usual 3:30am an did some emails but felt sleepy so I went back to bed for 2 more hours because - No More Appointments!
The nutritionist wants me to stay on the boring liquid diet for at least another 2 weeks. Breakfast wasn't very exciting so I decided to visit Tom (my motorcycle dealer) to have a long chat about options on my new motorcycle. We have been friends for many years and it was a quiet morning at the store so we talked about our favorite subject.
I then went to the pharmacy and grocery store and while in the parking lot I drank my liquid lunch. Since I was feeling sleepy I reclined the car seat and with the warmth of the sun I immediately fell asleep and I had the most amazing daydream. It was one of those dreams that seemed vividly real. I was suddenly back at the motorcycle store and it was Spring and Tom & I were walking out the door into the brilliant sunshine and he handed me the keys to the new machine. With great joy I roared off into the distance after months of deprivation. The power of the new bike seemed infinite like in those super hero movies and incredible speed was only a thought away. I woke suddenly to a car alarm blasting close by. It was a short dream but a pleasant taste of things to come.
At dinner I sipped another box of my liquid dinner that came from the fridge while watching Cheryl eat a delicious Thai Peanut Chicken stir fry. Or, at least I think that's what happened. The problem with pain narcotics is the confusion of fantasy and reality and the boundaries get blurred. Perhaps I really did go on that exciting motorcycle ride. Not likely since Cheryl would never have approved such a wild idea. I will have to stay on the pain medication for at least another week or two until the neck starts to heal.
